I'm curious about your project, but I really do not understand what it does yet.

"Spot-On is an interstellar dolphin-propelled science vessel sailing on the winds of chaos. Now with Ultra StarBeams!"

It's a search engine, email and chat client?

This is a separate issue, but if you also create GoldBug, could you host that on GitHub or GitLab, too? SourceForge is a pain to read through.

E-mail, text, search engine, pass-through device, may contain collections of Web pages, may be used to attach TLS to non-TLS software (depends on the software), file sharing, directory / file encrypting, pad-like encryption, texting through IMAP / POP3, group communications, etc.

I do not own GoldBug, however, I do maintain its UI files.

Thank you for the interest.

Cheers for the response! I still think it could use a more fleshed-out README, but it's your call if you want to close this issue or not.

Done! Thanks.

Please also define this program in general with a few sentences.

From the documentation

Spot-On is a dolphin-propelled science project. The software is composed of two separate applications, a multitasking kernel and an operator interface. The two applications are written in C++ and require the Qt framework as well as an assortment of libraries. Qt versions Qt 5.x are supported. Spot-On is available on FreeBSD, Linux, OS X, OS/2, and Windows. In addition to supporting the x86 and x86-64 architectures, ARM, PowerPC, and SPARC are supported without any special provisions. Qt version 4.8.7 may be functional although it is not supported.

Please note that the Echo algorithm and its name are not derived from Ernest J. H. Chang's 1982 Echo Algorithms: Depth Parallel Operations on General Graphs paper.
